Eastbourne Buses has just placed eleven brand new Alexander Dennis Enviro 200s into service on the 'Loop', a circular service taking in key residential areas, shopping centres and the hospital. Most are route branded, with only discrete Stagecoach logos but these distinctive plum coloured fronts which seem to work quite well, as per 36908 (GN13 HHZ), the last of the batch. This is a busy service and whilst these buses are being trumpeted as (marginally) larger than their predecessors (DAF SB120s in the main), it is perhaps a little surprising that E300s weren't chosen both for their size and fleet standardisation as the E200 is yet another new model for Eastbourne's diverse fleet.

"It’s been more than 60 years since the Mecca Flats building stood at 34th and State Street, yet it remains a prominent story in both architectural and sociological discussions. Mecca Flat Blues, which opens February 15 in the Sidney R. Yates Gallery on the fourth floor, is an exhibition that clearly demonstrates the two distinct identities of that building.
It was initially interpreted as a building for the rich, a reputation burnished by its use as a hotel during the 1893 World’s Fair. While the apartments were large, that was not an accurate description as residents were generally middle-class. In 1912, the building transitioned from all Caucasian residents to African American residents, and still housing middle-class professionals such as hotel clerks and Pullman Porters.
The building’s design of a skylight interior court with ornately-designed railings was distinctive, but it also contributed to the building’s reputation as having no secrets. Resident’s behaviors were less than pious which led songwriter/pianist Jimmy Blythe to write the song from which the exhibition takes its name, 'Mecca Flat Blues.'
The apartment complex inspired more than a song especially when an aspiring writer went to work for one of its residents. Called upon to deliver goods door-to-door, the writer became familiar with all the residents, getting to know them in her line of duty. Eventually the writer, Gwendolyn Brooks, would publish her poem, 'In the Mecca.'
As the Illinois Institute of Technology began to expand, Mecca Flats stood in its way, but residents fought to keep their building, only losing the battle when it fell into disrepair in 1951. While preservationists often lament that replacement buildings never live up to the original beloved building, Mecca Flats was replaced by Mies Van der Rohe’s Crown Hall."
Opened in 1898 by Herman Joseph Berghoff and now continues as an iconic German resteraunt.

On Wednesday, I realized I still had trip photos on a roll of film in my Holga and decided to finish it off on the way down to the lab.
This is the first stop on the way, the corner of Lansdowne & St Clair, where the 47 Lansdowne bus picks up passengers. If only it was that simple though. This stop is also the worst example of TTC efficiency I've ever known... and has been for years.
The problem here is that you have the 47 bus and the 47B/C. The 47 comes up from Queen and goes into the loop at St Clair. The 47B/C continues north to Yorkdale, bypassing the loop. If you are waiting at St Clair to head south, both busses will pass the streetside stop on their identical way down, BUT the 47 will not pick up passengers on the street. You have to get on it in the loop - a half block over. If you are at the street stop it will keep its doors shut, no matter how hard you knock at the door.
Commuters not from this area always get left behind. Locals who understand the ridiculous setup have developed a silent system whereby we wait ALL OVER THE STREET. As you can see in the pic, some people are waiting by me -- at the stop, while some with kids are hovering in the middle of the block, and others, like the lady in the white hooded coat are even futher along, looking into the loop. If I see the bus, I'll walk up the curb and those near the loop will see me and run over. If I see the loop people head into the loop, I'll run over there (and watch for that ice, eh). Today, the loop driver blazed through the loop making no stop and then pulled over on the street, let us in, lecturing everyone that he isn't really supposed to stop here but is being 'nice'.
Thankfully, there are a few 'nice' drivers... I'm thinking it's more that they just have some kind of heart. The early morning bastard who leaves all the little old ladies freezing in his dust because they can't run between stops... well, he can't possibly last long, 'cause you know they are all just throwing him their meanest evil eye... and I'll bet those things can add up over the course of a career, y'know?

I spent the day at one of the Valleys that make up the Mach Loop in North Wales.
It was a painful walk up to here, but well worth it to see military aeroplanes bombing through the valley at eye-level!!

Giant, bright coronal loops trace out the magnetic field lines above an active region from June 4-6, 2018. The wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light shown here is emitted by ionized iron travelling along the field lines, super-heated to approximately 1 million degrees K. Coronal loops were not seen in this level of detail until the Solar Dynamics Observatory was launched in 2010 and came online, giving solar scientists new data with which to study the Sun and its processes.

Taken from outside the boundaries of Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, the infamous Olympia Looping! The biggest travelling coaster in existence and the first time outside of mainland Europe.
For some reason though, it is called Munchen Looping over here, where it is actually known as Olympia Looping in mainland Europe

The "Loop Job" aka Redlands Loop Job works on the last day of 1979. Freshly outshopped GP20 3051 has the duty for the day working the remnants of the Redlands Branch. When this was taken the branch still extended beyond Redlands up to Mentone. At one time it went beyond Mentone north to Highland and headed back west to make a connection with the mainline in the northern part of San Bernardino. Thus it made a loop back to San Bernardino, hence the name. It also had the nickname of the "kite shaped track" due to the vague shape of a kite the branch portrayed on a map.

This is the lower driveway that loops below our house.
Years ago when my parents were visiting my father dubbed this part of the road the pooop loop. It's the road I take in the evening when I get home and walk the dogs....
My LGMS reverse loop module!
I started work on this massive undertaking back in early 2020, and it was finally completed in July of 2021. My intention was for it to showcase the full potential of this LGMS module type in order to promote its adoption. It features a rural landscape with a massive forested hillside, crop fields, a lake, a farmhouse, a small town main street, a grain elevator and feed mill served by the railroad, and a small Catholic church based on one I attend in real life! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!
